Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Airbags did not deploy during severe frontal impacts when front bumper hit a pole at high speed, impact was to left of bumper and impact was well in excess on 10 - 16 mph. Curious as to why airbags did not deploy, and if there was a defect that manufacturer should possibly investigate as soon a spossible before the vehicle (it is total loss) is salvaged. *Ak
